I am Associate Dean of Arts & Humanities and Distinguished University Professor of Philosophy at Western University, Canada. I am also a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada. My expertise lies in applied ethics, feminist philosophy, and moral philosophy. Some of my research centres on moral concepts such as trust, autonomy, and conscience. But much of my work centres on pressing issues in public policy. I have been particularly interested in issues that concern the creation or dissolution of families with children and/or the ability of marginalized groups to trust in public institutions, especially health care and child welfare.
